Trusted Japanese Knotweed Specialists in Kent

IVM delivers comprehensive, guaranteed treatment programmes for Japanese Knotweed, Giant Knotweed, Hybrid Knotweed and Giant Hogweed throughout Kent. Our approach is built around the specific requirements of your site, ensuring effective, long‑term control for homeowners, commercial clients and development projects across the county.

As leaders in invasive weed management, Invasive Vegetation Management & Treatment Ltd (IVM) utilises the advanced IVM ‘FAST’ System — a modern, research‑driven methodology that combines scientific insight with precise application techniques. This ensures rapid, dependable and lasting control of Japanese Knotweed and related species across Kent, including Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Medway, Sittingbourne, Folkestone, Dover and surrounding areas.

To see an example of our work in the region, you can view our Belvedere Knotweed Case Study.

Our directors bring over 95 years of combined expertise in invasive vegetation control. They are supported by a highly skilled operational team with extensive experience delivering complex weed‑control programmes nationwide. Every project benefits from our technical knowledge, rigorous standards and professional oversight.

IVM works closely with construction firms, developers and property professionals across Kent, ensuring treatment programmes align with build schedules, planning requirements and mortgage deadlines. All operatives are trained to industry‑leading standards, are NRoSO members, and follow strict Health & Safety and environmental protocols.

As an approved PCA (Property Care Association) contractor, IVM provides bespoke Japanese Knotweed solutions tailored to the unique challenges of each Kent site. We understand that no two infestations are identical — and our treatment plans reflect that.

We supply mortgage‑approved Knotweed Management Plans (KMPs) for residential and commercial properties across Kent. These documents are accepted by all major lenders, enabling property sales and refinancing even where Knotweed is present.

Our reports, quotations and recommendations are clear, transparent and easy to follow. With decades of experience supporting homeowners, surveyors, estate agents and construction companies across Kent, we understand the pressures of boundary disputes, tight deadlines and budget constraints — and we tailor our services accordingly.

Japanese Knotweed treatment requires a qualified, accredited contractor to ensure safe, effective and legally compliant control. For reliable, guaranteed solutions on residential or commercial sites in Kent, speak to the specialists — Contact IVM.

With offices in Birmingham, the Midlands, Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire, IVM provides nationwide coverage with strong regional expertise. As proud members of the Property Care Association (PCA), all surveyors hold the CSJK qualification, meeting the recognised industry standard for Japanese Knotweed assessment.
